What is an Occluded Front?

Back

An occluded front occurs when a warm front is squished between two cold air masses, causing the warm air to be pushed upward.

Front

What causes the formation of the Himalayan mountains?

Back

The Himalayan mountains were formed by the collision of two continental plates at a convergent boundary.

Front

What is a Convergent Oceanic-Continental Plate Boundary?

Back

A convergent oceanic-continental plate boundary occurs when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, often resulting in earthquakes.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy (KE)?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. For example, a moving car has kinetic energy.

Front

What is Potential Energy (PE)?

Back

Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For example, a car at the top of a hill has potential energy.

Front

What is a Transform Plate Boundary?

Back

A transform plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, often causing earthquakes.

Front

What is a Divergent Plate Boundary?

Back

A divergent plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of new crust, such as at mid-ocean ridges.

Front

What is a Convergent Plate Boundary?

Back

A convergent plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates collide, which can lead to mountain building or volcanic activity.

Front

What happens at a Convergent Continental-Continental Plate Boundary?

Back

At a convergent continental-continental plate boundary, two continental plates collide, resulting in the formation of mountains.

Front

What is the relationship between Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy are two forms of mechanical energy; as one increases, the other often decreases, such as in a swinging pendulum.
